People I Admire-Glenda Ann

Glenda Ann is my manager, I admire her because she has provided an excellent school of dance that accommodates every age, gender, class and ability. She opened her school in 1970 and she is Royal Academy of Dance accredited. Her school has over 12 members of staff who are fully qualified to teach all genres such as RAD, ISTD Ballet, Tap, Modern and Street dance. She has many students that attend all of these classes and the special thing about this school is it’s not based in one building.
Glenda Ann school of Dancing uses the facilities of schools, nurseries and church halls, this way she can broaden her school and place her name and reputation in and around greater Manchester. Some of her schools are in Prestwich, Middleton, Bury, Holmes Chapel, Bolton, Ainsworth, Didsbury and right in the heart of the city of Manchester
Glenda and her staff work extremely hard to train and teach her students to the best of their ability where they are then entered for exams, the results without fail are always exceptional.

I appreciate the speciality of her school and the way it reaches out to all children, there are no favourites and anyone is welcome, experience or no experience, good or bad backgrounds, wealthy or poor backgrounds Glenda offers her assistance everywhere. She also offers her schools work in many nurseries and primary schools as a way for children and toddlers to explore and enjoy dance, this way children can start dancing at a younger age and grow to understand dance developing technique at the same time, not forgetting that it’s a great way of keeping children fit and healthy.
Many, many performances have been produced by Glenda and her staff from Panto’s, May Day performances, Christmas light shows, productions at the Middleton Arena and yearly Summer schools, she works hard to show the public and the parents the hard work and high level of dance from her school.

She is an inspiration as she has run her school for nearly 40 years, as an employer I don’t notice all the behind the scenes work that she does. It’s not just teaching the classes for Glenda, it’s running a business, fees, rental for dance space, uniforms, letters, parents to deal with, organisation of performances, costumes, exams, invoices, staff the list goes on. Work doesn’t end when she’s finished a class, it goes home with her. I admire her for building on her long-term goal which was to own her own successful school. She is an inspiration to those who wish to do the same in a very competitive environment.
